So who needs Murray ahead of us so we can package the 15th and move up?
If we don't make the playoffs next year, we have a 93.3% chance of improving upon pick 15 and a 0% chance of sliding past 15. Even if we select a good player at 15, the chances of him impacting our lineup in the next two years while we still have Geno and Letang locked up are slim.
So if you don't think that we're a guaranteed playoff team, the math says let Minnesota get their first this year.
Don't worry about when they're ready. Worry about the impact they'll potentially have when they are. We're not in a hurry anymore.Time to NHL Debut/First Full Season (defined by me as 50+ games)...
Forbort - D+6/D+7
Miller - D+2/D+4
Ceci - D+2/D+3
Pulock - D+3/D+5
Larkin - D+2/D+2
Senyshyn - D+4/-
Kunin - D+2/D+4
Brannstrom - D+2/-
The likelihood of getting someone who can be involved in 21-22 is good - about 50% - although fully ready will probably take longer
I believe we'll make it. And I also believe we'll lose in four or five games. But if we make it we'll be drafting in the late teens or low 20's. Which is why you keep this pick this season.Knee jerk reaction for me is to assume they make playoffs
All it takes is one, but I agree that he shouldn't have much in the way of value. We just have to hope theres one rogue GM out there who believes he can recapture his glory.I don’t think Murray has any value right now unless a GM is trapped in 2017.

No one is going to to that. Pipe dream...
Pray that Detroit or Ottawa are willing to give up their early 2nds.
I agree with you, it would be absolute lunacy to not keep this pick.Pens aren’t giving this pick to Minnesota. Are you guys on that good stuff right now?
GMJR would send a message to the team f*** it you aren’t good enough for the playoffs next year so suck it up boys...
Lundell or Guhle seem like the picks we will be taken with how we’ve drafted lately.
that would be a mistake, especially Lundell...he doesn’t have great upside for that high of a pick...too safe..they need to go for greatness with that pick, not a third line contributor...
Disagree. Lundell has potential to be a Hintz type 2C.
I like Lundell as well. Mentioned him in the prospect thread. Love his game as a 2b kind of center in the Kopitar type.Disagree. Lundell has potential to be a Hintz type 2C.
I swear to God if JR doesn't keep this pick...
1.) Solid draft. Decent draft position
2.) Probably a playoff team next year
3.) COVID - who knows what happens with leagues. Prospects could lose some development
I think exactly the opposite. Lundell may be just a third line center material, but he’s the closest one that has a chance to contribute in this era. Already played in a man’s league. Also we need a quality 3C.that would be a mistake, especially Lundell...he doesn’t have great upside for that high of a pick...too safe..they need to go for greatness with that pick, not a third line contributor...
I think it's a bit better than solid. According to some pundits this draft is like 2003. Lots of good players to go in the first couple of rounds.I swear to God if JR doesn't keep this pick...
